Justice Suddala Chalapathi Rao of the Telangana High Court has granted interim relief to M/s Nobel School in Medchal-Malkajgiri district. The school's writ petition challenged administrative orders issued by the District Educational Officer (DEO) that sought fire NOC, GHMC occupancy certificate, and traffic NOC for compliance.
The judge held that the recognition granted to the school remained valid, considering it was already in place up to 2034. The court also observed that these requirements were not appropriately evaluated by the authorities before taking action against the institution's operation and admission practices for the upcoming academic year 2026-27.
Legal Rulings and Court Directions
The High Court suspended the impugned proceedings subject to the Nobel School producing the occupancy certificate and traffic NOC within three months. The judge also directed that a site inspection be conducted upon submission of these certificates, with further actions determined by law.
In a related matter, Justice Nagesh Bheemapaka of the Telangana High Court directed the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) to reconsider allegations made by plot owners in Chandanagar village regarding land interference. The petitioners claimed officials were acting without due process, threatening their ownership rights.
The court granted a week's time for personal hearing of the representation submitted on May 25, before hearing it further on June 17. This move aims to address land disputes and ensure procedural fairness for the residents involved.
Further, High Court Justice T. Madhavi Devi directed the Telangana State Level Police Recruitment Board to reconsider candidates for the police constable posts against unfilled vacancies in line with the recent Supreme Court judgment. The initial challenges were regarding provisional selection processes and normalization methods.
The court acknowledged that based on the Narimetla Vamshi case, any unfilled vacancies must be filled by the next suitable candidate. As such, the High Court directed the state to review the cases within two weeks and arrange for training of selected candidates.
